Finding Our Way in Gouda, The Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@RFGfotografie]

Yes my city is way more then just cheese and stroopwafels :P I am born here, lived here all my life. Proud to be Gouwenaar. Even if I do not like Cheese. Though I love Stroopwafels.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Great place! Thanks for watching!

[@canadafragrancereviewerdia9119]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, it made me miss my parents even more and all the times i visited the Netherlands over the years, they are gone now and lots of relatives live there, i miss the food, i miss it all. Thank you. Typical Dutch weather.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Glad you enjoyed it! We miss our parents as well. This time of year especially… All the best to you!

[@andersoncpu]

Another great city tour. I love the banter between the two of you. I also like the small sound effects added when the person off camera takes something. Keep the videos coming.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

You think that “wooosh” noise isn’t real? Nate really does grab the food very quickly you know… 😉 Thanks so much!

[@MartinWebNatures]

Love your video❤ probably as usual i watch it more then once 😊

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Yay! Thank you!

[@wandeling127]

Nice video guys, really enjoyed it!

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Thanks so much!

[@trendingwwwandw]

Thank you for taking us to the city of Gouda in the Netherlands loved your tour. It showed us so much about this area and the cheese is sold there. Thank you.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MartinWebNatures]

Your pronunciation of Gouda is perfect. Utrecht neerds bit attention😊

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

A lot of our Dutch pronunciations would drive our Dutch viewers away… 🙃

[@roodborstkalf9664]

Good video. Great research by Katrina.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Glad you enjoyed it. We have a lot to learn about!

I did see your question about the Turfmarkt quay on Insta. As a born and raised "Goudse Kaaskop" i can tell you why the "Heigt" of de turfmarkt quay is so low. Turfmarkt translated is Peatmarket In the early days all poor inhabitants of gouda used "Turf" aka peat as fuel to heat their houses in stead os coal, becouse the coal was more expensive than peat. The peat was delivered in ships that anchoraged in the turfmarkt, and the Peat was dischargesd with man power and wheelbarrows from the ships. To make it quick and easy they used ships with a low waterline to the boarding to deliver, and the quay was also low so the discharge was easyer. And that is also the reason gouda has Locks in their canals To pervent to overflow the city, as like other old dutch city's with canals. e.g. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Dordrercht, Delft and Leiden.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Ah, very nice info! Much appreciated!

[@peterjanssen2105]

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

That’s the coolest sweater ever 💚

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Thank you! ☺️

My place of birth ❤ Nearly 50 years later I'm still living in a place right next to it. I don't go to the old part as often as I used to and I'm pretty surprised how many shops changed since I last was there. Edit: OMG, the museum changed so so much! But ok....it's been at least 30 years since I last visited it. Edit 2: You were sooooo robbed at that cheese parlor! €77 per KG is just insane. Tourist trap warning! Edit 3: That narrow street is right next to my old school. The handlebars of my cita hardly fit.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Thanks for checking out the video! (We knew that cheese was pricey… 😳)

[@bepsnet]

Jullie spreken "Gouda" erg goed uit. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

We know some Dutch… we aren’t great though. The pronunciation is usually the hardest part, so we appreciate this comment! 🙏

[@vanderquast]

Great Vlog 👍I was born in Gouda 😊

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

So cool! It’s a beautiful town.

[@GeertDeLange-k5x]

We call them also: Stroopkoek

[@janjanssen9629]

Funny thing is, Gouda never produced any cheese… they had the exclusive rights to sell cheese so all the local farmers were only allowed to sell the cheese via Gouda., hence Gouda cheese.

[@jpdj2715]

A loop around town - if you did that on foot then "loop" (pronounced loap) would have been appropriate as it derives from "lopen" (to walk), however the noun is generally used for "running" rather than walking.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Makes sense!

[@vs123]

Very nice, I like museums

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Us too! Thanks!

[@jsb7975]

If you strawl in quaint little historic towns (many of them)) you can appreciate the fact that visiters of the 16hundreds were in awe when visited Amsterdam. At that time, now still mostly intact, Amsterdam was the biggest city in Europe. The old town still is the biggest 17th century centre in the world.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

The age of these towns, and how much remains in good condition is pretty great!

[@emielverschuur8395]

nice that you came to visit Gouda and enjoyed the weather (LOL) It's just a shame that you visited the wrong stroopwafel bakery okay Kamphuisen is tasty but Markus's stroopwafels are 10 times better, maybe come again in the summer and try the real stroopwafel

[@lottifuehrscheim]

If you buy Gouda cheese, it should be freshly cut from the big wheel, not pre-packaged in plastic.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Totally understand… didn’t see that while we were there.

[@jpdj2715]

8:45 Note that the "narrow house" is in a bend/curve/angle of the street. At one point in time in the NL, property tax related to the length of the facade of you house along the street. You used more shared/public infrastructure with a long facade and hence had to pay more. This got outsmarted in cases like this, I guess, where the house fills a large space in the angle between the sections of the street on either side of the angle pint. Behind the "short" facade. That said, I am aware of a house based on this reasoning in Amsterdam, here it may just be a narrow house. It could have been built by (i.e. for) an English narrow-boat skipper who otherwise would not feel at home.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Makse sense! Thanks for watching!

[@velovoice47]

There are also a lot of houses along that street where Katrina is talking about this, where the doors go to different flats, i.e. one door goes straight into the ground floor premises whereas the door beside it opens to a staircase going to premises on floors above. So the actual residences in the building are at least as wide as both doorways at the front at ground level.

[@MLint]

I think t" halletje is a smaller than the Looierspoort. It is situate between de keizersstraat and de Raam. I wil measure both. Fun video

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Interesting! Let us know! Thanks for the kind words!

[@Schaakman1]

I love Dutch cheese too 😃

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

We are all that cheese very quickly!

[@adventuresbyrust]

Glad your eye is better!

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Oh man… me too. That was not fun, and looked terrible!

[@koffiewolf]

1:03 in the good old times a guy sticking his tong out means ''Pharmacy'' you often see them with a tulband and we think its because they imported opium from turkey back then. the ''gaper'' as they are called are a great sign for pharmacy's because of there sick looking posture.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Very interesting!

[@KeesBoons]

The "kurk" for church still messes me up. Is it really that hard? :o).

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

We know it.. we make fun of ourselves for this… and then we still make it sound wrong…. 😑

[@KeesBoons]

@@nateandkatrinadotheworld Good to hear you at least get a laugh out of it yourself :o).

[@bartlucassen9145]

You guys forgot to eat de pancake underneath!

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Oh man.. we probably forgot a bunch of great stuff! We will just have to go back!

[@jpdj2715]

1:57 makes you look bigheaded

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

🙃

[@bertoverweel6588]

He guy's, Kamphuisen stroopwafels are the best.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Sooooo delicious!!

[@robinroberts3335]

Godda is good 😊

[@ronaldderooij1774]

Gouda cheese does not necessarily come from Gouda. It is marketed in Gouda. At least that was the case in historical times.

[@Dutchbelg3]

Actually It got its name from the cheese market but the cheese is produced in the area around Gouda - Bodegraven and basically anywhere in the Groene Hart regio. Just so many meadows with so many cows and farms :-)

[@ikke5212]

😉😄

[@roy_for_real2674]

They also kind of have a ghetto.

[@MinglingWithTheDutch]

Who said anything about tobacco ;)

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

😂

[@464nescio6]

dalmatian tigers now extinct..

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

😂 Tiger, cheetah, big cat or something…

[@wilco8729]

Oké.... how long are you guys live in the netherlands right now and still not pronounce kerk right. Its not KURK like you guys are saying... its KERK

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Yeah, we mess that up.. and make fun of ourselves. Part bad accent, part poor pronunciation.

[@jpdj2715]

With your brilliant music choice "under" your videos, talking about "stroopwafels" and how amazing, or not, they are, it's opportune to be aware of these senior bandits: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazing_Stroopwafels Not "our" - yours, mine - first choice, but still. If you frequent the food of "the commons" and occasionally rave about that, it's appropriate. Puns intended.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Haha. Just looked them up!
